If you’ve worked in gaming, did your job change how you approached playing?

I think if anything understanding the internal workings of games gives me a greater appreciation for games that do things well.

And make me more harsh on games that use obvious shortcuts to implement something.

To a very good extent and that's workable to the very best because it's going to afford you all the information you need to rightly appreciate the game well.

Bring around gaming will definitely sharpen your knowledge more about video games, it's hardware components, the software companies, interesting games and poorly built games too, just so many of them.

Definitely, if you are involved with gaming jobs, there is always going to be a huge factor of influence it's going to weigh on you and your gaming decision making.

Surely it will expose one to different hidden things around gaming which he or she may not have known. It is like that for anyone working on different niche department. When you've been around a particular niche for sometime you'll simply master majority things around it.

There is a way that you will know too much about a particular stuff, it's going to make that too common in your eyes and it's something that can happen to one who's works is deeply rooted in gaming.

When you've known plenty around video games then it's very much worthwhile. Meaning, you can teach others too and make money from it. Example is building up a YouTube video game channel to review different things around video games for people.

Experience always comes in with what you do constantly, when you're around video game you'll definitely learn, and such makes you a gaffer around video games.

Yeah, that can actually work as well looking at how gaming have progressed over the years.

Gaming is on the progressive, those who are into it full-time, like streaming either on twitch and YouTube, are getting something out of it. Provided that, they know how to market their video contents to attract viewers.

I really envy those who are into active video games streaming. It's a good work of art if I should put it that way!!

If you have worked in the game industry, did it change how you gamed? I.e. did it burn you out on gaming? Make you more analytical as you game? Etc.

Of course yes, it's supposed to affect how you view games because you are not part of the team that actually makes the games.

When you are deep in on something, your view on that is definitely going to be different form those that are outside the circle.

This is very true because with those outside the inner circle of the game making wouldn't understand the core things in the game, so they will definitely see it in a different way.

If I was to work in the gaming job or whatever then it can in away, meaning you have to keep it hashed and not make it public and also you might know how the game is as you help to make it.
